The secret realm of hell is coming

Wang Gang came before Ye Chen and said excitedly, "Brother Chen, you guys are too awesome. This is a Rank 14 monster, and it just died like that?"

Ye Chen patted Wang Gang on the shoulder and said, "You guys still have too little combat experience. Monsters of this Rank only have Elementary intelligence. As long as you have enough experience, dealing with them is not a problem at all."

Wang Gang nodded blankly.

After collecting the loot, Ye Chen gave the Corrosive Crystal to Wang Gang and the trident to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao's pet was a Rank 4 Water-Avoiding Golden Boy, which happened to be water-attributed, so the trident was quite suitable for it.

The two were taken aback and quickly said, "Brother Chen, we just came to tag along; we don't want these things!"

"Yeah, Brother Chen, you helped us complete the mission, and we are already very grateful. We can't take these things!"

Ye Chen didn't say anything else and stuffed the items directly into their arms.

He also gave the Heart Core to Wang Gang.

"Alright, take them. You deserve it!"

The two bowed gratefully to Ye Chen, and Wang Gang suddenly looked up and said, "Brother Chen, why don't you let us join you guys!"

Wang Gang's eyes were full of sincerity. Ye Chen patted Wang Gang's shoulder and smiled slightly, "What are you thinking? Just stay in the Alliance. If you follow us, you will only grow slower."

The two pursed their lips and nodded.

After seeing Wang Gang, Liu Tao, and the others off, the five of them set off again.

Zhu Qiang trotted to Ye Chen's side and whispered, "Brother Chen, we are too powerful now. Killing a Rank 14 monster is so easy!"

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "It's not that we are powerful; it's that this monster was too trashy. It had no attack methods. Apart from having a unique life recovery ability, it was just a punching bag."

Zhu Qiang pursed his lips; it did seem to be the case.

Just then, everyone's Monster Chat Room suddenly vibrated simultaneously.

They quickly opened it to check.

【Tomorrow at 3:00 PM, Rank 16-20 monsters will descend, and a small Hell Secret Realm will also descend (a hell secret realm key is required to enter)】

Zhu Qiang looked pained, his face twisted as he said, "It's only been a few days, our pets haven't even reached Rank 10 yet. This is too much of a rip-off!"

Ye Chen perked up when he saw the last sentence. So that's how the hell secret realm key was used!

Lin Nuoyi suddenly said, "You guys, look at the chat messages!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly opened the chat interface.

"Looking to buy hell secret realm key fragment!"

"Is anyone selling hell secret realm key fragment?"

"I've been fighting monsters for so long and only got two key fragments!"

"I have one. Is anyone buying for 5,000 gold coins?"

"I want it, I want it!"

"Brother, I'll pay 6,000! Sell it to me!"

"I'll pay 7,000!"

Only then did Ye Chen realize that the drop rate for these key fragments was so low. He had thought that monsters above Rank 10 were guaranteed to drop them, but it seemed only his drops were guaranteed!

Lin Nuoyi pursed her lips and said, "Now we are going to fall behind others again. We don't have a single hell secret realm key fragment yet."

Ye Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Who said we don't have any?"

With that, Ye Chen took out all 14 fragments.

Seeing this, Lin Nuoyi instantly covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "14 fragments!"

"Holy crap, Brother Chen! Where did you get so many!"

Even Yu Nian, who was always very calm, was greatly surprised.

Ye Chen put the fragments away and smiled, "A total of 18 fragments are needed. We are still short 4. Let's go, hurry up and hunt four more monsters above Rank 10."

Yu Nian and the others nodded repeatedly, feeling exceptionally happy.

Shangdu Park.

A Rank 11 Strange Rock Butterfly was there hunting a stray cat.

Blood Asura moved instantly, directly activating Critical Strike.

Arriving in front of the Strange Rock Butterfly, it rotated to charge up, and the Death Scythe slashed directly onto the top of the Strange Rock Butterfly's head.

-2800!

Immediately after, another slash followed.

After taking two slashes, the Strange Rock Butterfly finally reacted.

Its huge wings swung toward Blood Asura.

Boom!

A loud noise erupted beside Ye Chen and the others.

The King Kong Ape had already moved. The Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear instantly deployed. It held the Strange Rock Butterfly's wings down to the ground with both hands, and the Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear stabbed down at the Strange Rock Butterfly, pinning it directly to the ground.

Blood Asura let out a cackling laugh, raised the Death Scythe high, and descended from the air, instantly executing the Strange Rock Butterfly with a headshot!

【Congratulations on obtaining 120 points】

【small life elixir * 1: Restores 1000 HP at once. Note: Can be used by both pets and warriors】

【heaven splitting spear fragment * 1: Collect 100 fragments to synthesize the Lie Tian Spear original embryo】

【hell secret realm key fragment * 1: Collect 18 fragments to synthesize 1 key to open a small Hell trial Secret Realm】

【demon god armor fragment * 1: Collect 108 fragments to synthesize the Demon God Armor. Note: The Demon God set has five pieces: helmet, armor, chest plate, knee pads, boots】

The Strange Rock Butterfly didn't drop anything good, so Ye Chen had Lin Nuoyi throw it directly into the backpack.

"Still need three more!"

Smiles appeared on the faces of Zhu Qiang and the others, and their motivation grew even stronger.

Lin Nuoyi suddenly frowned and said, "Everyone, the Law Enforcement Alliance and several other Alliances are already buying up key fragments on a massive scale, and the prices are getting higher and higher!"

Ye Chen sneered and said dismissively, "It's fine, let them buy if they want; we can't stop them. Now, let's hurry up and collect the key fragments. I think all the factions are hunting monsters above Rank 10 right now."

Lin Nuoyi and the others nodded.

Just then, Ye Chen received a call from Shao Shuai. He didn't need to think to know what it was about.

As soon as the call connected, Shao Shuai's anxious voice came through, "Brother Ye Chen, do you have any key fragments? I'll pay any price; we need them urgently!"

Ye Chen feigned helplessness and smiled bitterly, "I really don't have any. We haven't hunted many monsters above Rank 10, and we haven't obtained a single one."

Shao Shuai laughed, "Alright then, if you get any, remember to tell me!"

Ye Chen grunted and hung up the phone.

Lin Nuoyi brushed back her hair, looked up at Ye Chen, and asked, "Was that them asking you for key fragments?"

Ye Chen nodded and said with some concern, "We need to pay attention to our safety. I feel that people have already started hunting others to seize key fragments."

Yu Nian and the others nodded.

Ye Chen exchanged for four protective shields from the points mall and gave one to each person.

"Let's go, we need to hurry."

With that, the group quickly went off to search for monsters above Rank 10.

Guangfa Logistics Park.

Just as they arrived at the entrance, they could hear sounds of fighting inside.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's go, head to the next place."

The group came to a nearby abandoned factory. Fortunately, no one was there yet.

Inside the factory, there was a Rank 11 Nine-Pattern Thunder Fire Bull!

"Everyone, use your strongest power, kill it quickly!"
